An interesting story with a unique twist

As I read the story, I was reminded of Brin's Practice Effect, and then went down a path of thinking whether it was that type of story, or something different. It was different, and then I was reminded of JonTom from ADF's Spellsinger, but that didn't fit either. In the end, it was an enjoyable story that reminded of several other stories, by ADF and others, but did fit any. It was a new twist that kept me on the hook the entire time. Thank you ADF for yet again providing me with a unique, enjoyable story. You never disappoint!.
